Re: Has anyone managed to install IBM i Access for Windows 7.1 on Win10 technical preview?

By "fake it out", I mean that the IBM link mentions "Download and install
the correct vcredist_XXXX.exe file for your system." (Also
vcredist_x86.exe.) A search for VCRedist in the Windows folder turns up:

Not really sure what to do with those, if anything can be done with them.

Interesting that your Win8.1 didn't need that security update and yet you
were still able to install it. I'd guess, then, that the i Access for
Windows installer checks for the Windows version, sees 8.1, and no

security

update is needed. Otherwise, not knowing about Win10, it must throw a

flag

up if the security update isn't already installed. I wonder if there's a
way to fake it out.

It's a microsoft Security update, but it's not really for the OS.

It's for a library that applications built with Visual Studio 2005 and
include the redistributable library.

I don't find any information that Win8 or Win10 ship with the (updated)
redistributable library built in.

I loaded it on my Win 8.1 machine.

The installer first asks what language to use, then "Preparing to

Install",

then InstallShield Wizard, which is "interrupted" by the following

dialog:

IBM i Access for Windows 7.1 Installer Information
[! in a yellow triangle]
An update is required to continue with this install. Refer to the

following

link for details and instructions.
www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/windows/casp.html
[OK]

The only mention of a required update applies to newer service packs,

and

it is a Microsoft security update for which neither Win8.1 nor Win10

needs.
